Re: Reading A Daisy Book With Read To Go
The version of your IOS 5 book that I have says it is daisy audio, which is read by their synthesizer. I do not know if it has text in it, or not. Before I got my phone, I played it on my NLS player. When I tried to get Read To Go to play it, I know it was in Read To Go, it just didn't show up in the list at all. No worry. When I buy your new book, if it won't work in Read To Go either, I always can use my NLS player.

I zipped it and used iTunes file sharing to add it to Read2Go. It showed up in the list, and I was able to read the text with VoiceOver and navigate to various sections. Sometimes I was able to play the audio, and sometimes nothing happened when I pressed the Play button. I don't know why that was. But at least the text was readable.

Even after switching off the read to go voice as a reading option, it did not show up in my list of books to read, on my phone, although it did show up in the list of books I had transferred via iTunes, on my pc. I know it was on my phone, the total number of books increased by one, it just didn't show up in the list.I transferred it as a zip file, and I know Read To Go unzipped it, because it was called daisy in the transfer list on my pc.

Re: Logitech Blue Tooth Tablet Keyboard
On the bottom of the keyboard left of the space bar, for any Apple keyboard, the buttons are function, control, option, command, space bar. Press and hold control and option to tell VO that any other key(s) at the same time gives VO commands. The commands are the same as on the Mac. If your keyboard is Windows rather than Mac, the keys are probably function, control, windows, alt, space bar. In this case, I believe Apple maps windows to command and alt to option. If this is correct and you have a Windows keyboard, the VO keys would be control and alt. So, the home button is VO h, double-tap is VO space, launching keyboard help is VO k, and so forth.

Re: Logitech Blue Tooth Tablet Keyboard
I was not clear. There is a major difference between typing on the keyboard and using the keyboard for navigation. Sighted people overwhelmingly prefer navigating using the touch-screen first, the mouse second, and the keyboard last. This has nothing to do with typing. The fact is, on computers with mouse or touchpad, sighted people will usually move the pointer to where they need to type with the mouse, trackpad, or directly on the display. They then type on the keyboard. They then use the touchpad, mouse, or display to move the pointer to the next field, or ok, or next button, or whatever the next task is. A few fast typists, who were trained more than 18 years ago, will default to pressing tab, arrow keys, and enter, but the majority to vast majority prefer the direct interaction with the onscreen object using the more direct interface of touch-screen, mouse, or touchpad (in that order according to a fair number of studies I have read that took place over the past ten years. I probably misread an earlier post. I thought the person asked about using navigation with the keyboard when VO is turned off. My understanding is VO must be on for keyboard navigation to function. The fact is, the majority of sighted users prefer it that way.

Save for a very few outlyers, this assertion is constantly proven incorrect. I guess I didn't see that in this thread until you or someone else brought it up. It just seemed like a question from someone who was already using a bluetooth keyboard and wanted to do some navigation without using the touch screen. I'm not saying people don't want to use the touch screen, but I think people who want to use a keyboard make up more than just a very few outliers. I doubt there would be as many makers of bluetooth keyboards as there are if the market was as small as you imply. As for programming and AV, object-oriented programming is primarily mouse oriented. Same with high-end AV editing and production. I'm not sure why you say that object oriented programming is mostly mouse oriented. Sure there are some IDE's that use the mouse to establish relationships between objects, but even with these IDE's there's still quite a bit of typing involved, such as when you're writing a new object or method. There are also quite a few programmers doing object oriented programming without such IDE's as well as quite a bit of programming out there being done that isn't object oriented. I'm also not sure how being mouse oriented changes the discussion. I still see video editors using a monitor/keyboard/mouse combination on their desktop system before doing this on a touch screen only device. Again, I'm not saying touch screens aren't becoming more and more popular and don't make a lot of sense for a lot of tasks. I'm just saying there's still a place, which I think is larger than you imply, for keyboards and input/output technologies other than the touch screen. Because of this, I don't think there's anything wrong with someone asking for a feature related to keyboard access.

Maybe this is just a set of transitional products, but I just don't ever see programmers, writers, video editors, publishers and so on doing their work exclusively on a touch screen.

Re: Standscan pro - I admit defeat
Hi. Normally I am a good builder, I love taking things apart and put them together again. This one took me an afternoon and an evening, but I can do it now. I needed to find the system. 1 important thing is to be sure the flaps are folded corectly and folded enough. I think I would recommend to have a sighted person to fold it the first time, mine was in fact a little difficult.

My problem is that I can't remember exactly how the SSP looked when it first arrived, so I hope I don't confuse you further!! 1. With the folded SSP flat on the table in front of you, there should be a short piece of cable protruding from the furthest, right-hand corner. 2. If you feel for a narrow flap, this runs along the length of the SSP, but is only about 3 inches (say 7 cm) across, lift this flap away from you so that it and the larger flap it is part of, opens out toward the back of the SSP and is laying flat on the table toward the back of the SSP. 3. Now lift the next flap you find and open it out to your left and lay it flat on the table, it will stick out to the left of the SSP. 4. Now take the last flap, which will open up and over to your right. This is a double flap, so it will open out twice and is twice the lengther of the flap that you have alrready opened out to your left. 5. You should now have a shape in front of you with the central rectangular base. With a flap opened to the left of it. You should have another flap opened out to the right and this one is twice the length of the one on the left, because half of this longer flap is going to be the top of your SSP. and in the centre of the second part of this long flap is the hole for the camera to see through.

Lift the left hand flap so that is is vertical and hold it there with your left hand. 6. Now lift the flap on the right, taking hold of it toward its furthest end and lift it so that the first part is roughly vertical and the second flap folds toward the flap you are holding with your left hand. Thus forming a top to your box. 7. Using both hands, fold the little flap at the end of this top piece over the top edge of the left hand flap. There are magnets in this part of the top and they will be attracted to the magnets which are also toward the top of the left hand flap.

Running vertically up the front of the two sides which are now standing up, you should find two triangles, they are long and attached to the sides of the box sides that are standing up. Bend these gently so that they form the beginning of a sort of frame to the front of your box and then bend the flap that you will find is now protruding from the top/lid of the box. This flap, when bent down over the two triangle flaps will stay in place once the magnets find each other. So now we have just the back to deal with. 8. Lift the back flap up,keeping

big jam box updater?
Hello, how long did it take everyone's jam box to update? Mine has been on 4 percent for 10 minutes, and it says it could take up to 5 minutes. It says not to close my browser, or not to turn on jam box. So could someone give me an idea what to do next.

Re: Is it possible from Dropbox to dxport a folder of mp3 tracks into Downcast?
Hi, I would use iTunes file sharing to copy in all the files at once. Then in Downcast, there's a select all button you can use to import them as a group into a single podcast.

Standscan not holding together and other thoughts on the product, was: Standscan pro - I admit defeat
Hi Annie and Krister, I received my Standscan yesterday and while I had the benefit of reading the various posts regarding setting it up, I found the detailed descriptions very difficult to understand without the Standscan in front of you. Anyhow, it took me maybe 15 minutes to figure it out, after all, the places where one has to fold it are easily felt. However, my Standscan will not hold together properly without a bit of tape especially on the front top corners where the opening is and the back corner where the cable comes out. I know mine is part of a new production batch so maybe that has something to do with it, but just to make sure that I wasn't doing this wrong, I asked my manager at my store to put it together. He is sighted, he has gone to college for plumbing and electrician, he is a hobby woodworker same as myself and all around a handy kind of guy. He looked at the instructions and put it together. It turns out that I had done it correctly, but the place where the cable is supposed to come out is slightly mis-aligned and the magnets on the top in the front where the opening is and on the side where the cable comes out (after he made the notch a bit larger) will not hold even though they line up. Now that I have the Standscan I agree that the way the product is made should be improved and possibly a different material might be required to make it fit better, last longer and hold together more securely. If I were to carry this thing around with me in my pack all the time even in some sort of protective envelope, I could see how repeated setting it up and taking it down would probably wear it out and, as I said, in my case I would definitely have to replace some of the magnets. I may actually try this anyways and use some very small rare earth magnets. Those things are maybe slightly thicker, but they could probably be glued to the outside of the cartbord as they are so strong that they would easily work through the cartbord. Anyhow, now that I have a Standscan, I am planning to measure it and I will probably built a box out of 1/8 or 1/4 inch oak plywood with these exact dimensions. This would not be designed as a portable, take-down box, but I could make one for at home and one for at work and maybe after some magnet replacements I can then just use the Standscan for the occasional trip to a trade show or so where I might need it.

Super Reminders with Alarmed
Hi all, I know the list has discussed this app a few times, but I thought I'd bring up the super reminders feature. I've used this part of the app several times, but the part I've never played with is the pre-alarm options. Here's the alarm I created. Remind me every 3 Months, on the first Saturday of the Month, to change our heater filter. I set the pre-alarm to go off 2 days before this. I figure, I'll be reminded on Thursdays, and I can go out on the Friday or Saturday to purchase the filter, to change it Saturday evening. :) I was pleased with these options. A clever way to get heads up about something to take care of over the weekend. Here is the URL for the app. I highly recommend it. There are so many options when setting complex reminders. https://itunes.apple.com/app/id371886784 HTH, Traci It's not too late! You got to fight for the right cure!!!

Re: Standscan not holding together and other thoughts on the product, was: Standscan pro - I admit defeat
Yes, it would be nice to see this product made of a sturdier material. My problem was the bottom of the box kept bowing up. I took a pattern holder/marker, which is a sheet of metal with strrips of magnets, and placed the sheet under the bottom of the Stand Scan. I then just put the magnet strips on the bottom of the box.

re: Is the Sirius/XM App accessible?
BlankWell, unless there is a decent receiver that covers the internet stations as well, I know there is one but I don't know if it is accessible, using the SiriusXm app on the iPhone lets you access the content that you can't get on the satellite itself. There are quite a few stations that are internet-only, including a few that used to be carried on the bird. Is the Sirius/XM App accessible? BBS bigbigshawn@gmail.com Apr 03 04:35PM -0400 I have to add my $.02 in to this thread. First off, yes, the app is fairly accessible but one of my major gripes about the app is the fact that if you leave your iPhone idol after 90 minutes of listening, the app will time out and you'll have to double tap the keep listening button every 90 minutes. Unless you have a jailbroken iPhone because someone in an earlier post has said that you can have continuous playing if you do this, I'd suggest buying an actual receiver like I did and pay for that instead. Just my $.02. Politicians are like bananas, they enter congress green, turn yellow, and then they are rotten.

RE: Standscan not holding together and other thoughts on the product, was: Standscan pro - I admit defeat
Hi Sieghard, I thought it may not be a bad idea to use these round or square pieces of Velcro on the two places that seem to be the weakest. In my case, I find that the 2 magnets on the left side really need to be stronger. I mean the back left where the wire comes out and the front left. I'm not saying that they are the only 2 weak magnets because I feal that they are all too weak. What do you think of that idea? Do you think that would help? Also, I was thinking of your idea of making one out of plywood. Do you think that it would be possible to use small piano hinges to make it foldable?

My Stand Scan Pro was having the same problem, so I ran my thumb nail along all the folds, to insure that they were creased, and would lie flat.

I would think that what's available digitally from most newspapers is going to be pretty fixed and that each external service getting access to the paper will have the same population of articles available to it. If that is the case, wouldn't you want the service with the lowest price provided the service features were comparable? I'll admit to being new to reading newspapers with iPhone apps so I readily admit my ignorance up front which is why I'm posting to get comments from the more experienced.

accessible Bible app
Hi, I'm new to the list and still pretty new to my iPhone 4. I'm looking for an app to read the ESV version of the Bible on my phone. I just downloded 2 apps (out of 70 some that came up in the app store search) and both are inaccessible to VO. One reads some of the icons, but not the important stuff. The other was recommended by a sighted friend and seems cool, but won't read. Without downloading and trying each of the other 70 some options, can anyone point me to one that works? I'd prefer the ESV translation, but would consider others just to have an accessible one. Can developers make these apps accessible somehow if I were to contact them and ask about it?

Re: Bose link2, or jawbone big jam box?
There is also suppose to be a speaker called the Amazing speaker. You lay it on a table, stick it on a window, put it just about anywhere and what ever surface it's using becomes a speaker. Just 1 goes for around 75 bucks so for stereo you need 2. I just don't want to spend that much on a maybe kind of thing. They say you can carry a couple in your pocket and they have a Y connector as well and turn your iPhone into a great stereo system.

I can't speak to the Bose link 2 but I can speak to the Bose sound dock 10. Yes it has clean clear bass but even more importantly, it has a much greater dynamic range. Dynamic range is what makes sound more like reality. Generally, it takes a great deal of power to make a wide dynamic range in an amp. It appears the sound dock 10 has found a way to do it using only 2 8 inch speakers. I guess maybe that's why it's like 7 hundred dollars USD. And it can do it with a 128 mp3 file. This model isn't sold at Target and other stores. You have to go to a Bose store to hear it and it's heavy. Mine I'd say weighs around 30 pounds. My wife refuses to take me to the Bose store any more. She's afraid. Very afraid.

Hello, I do not have either product, but I remember reading in some review, that the Bose has more base than the Jambox. Not sure about my memory but the Jambox was supposed to have better mids and highs. I do not remember where I read this review. From: Kliphton Sent: Monday, April 01, 2013 9:28 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Bose link2, or jawbone big jam box? Okay, I have owned the big jam box, wasn't blown away by like the rest of the general public. Right now it is only $239.99 on amazon. The Bose link2 is still sitting at $299.99 and gets a smidge of a higher review. Couple things to take in to context here. The Bose link2 got 4.5 out of 5 stars. The Big jam box got 4.4 out of 5 stars. The Bose has only been on the market since September, and the big jam box has been out since last May, almost a year. The big jam box has over 1200 reviews, and the Bose link2 only has 273. So personal preference is the key here. Jam box has speaker phone, Bose link2 does not. Bose link shaped like a small book, big jam box shaped like a long rectangular box. Jam box sound can be updated via usb cord, and sound adjusted with a few button presses. Bose link has an app for the iMac, but saw nothing about firmware updates. I will have the Bose link2 in my hands tomorrow, so will be able to see if 1 out does the other. 1 thing a lot of reviewers said about the jam box, that the speaker phone took some quality away from the sounds of their music. Don't know, but I am not big on speaker phones anyway since I live in a household of 7, and want to keep my few conversations private anyway. More of a tester than a talker. Anyway, is there anyone who has owned both that can add to this? If not, I will tomorrow. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

The Standscan is not an iPhone specific accessory, it is made to work with all sorts of cell phones and therefore it isn't really possible to have some sort of ledge on it which is designed to line up an iPhone. The Standscan was also not designed as a product for the blind, in fact, the people who designed it and are producing it didn't even think that this would be a useful accessory for a blind iPhone user. Lastly, keep in mind that you are not paying $30 for a cartbord box only, the Standscan Pro does have the LED Lights and the magnets and while none of these things are very expensive, there is a design process and a manufacturing process and the people who came up with the idea have to recover their initial investment in time and all that. There are many other examples of very simple products made from very inexpensive materials which cost that much or more. Corex or Coroplast as it is also known is primarily used for short-term signage and for packing material. I am not sure if it could be folded in a way to maintain the portability of the Standscan as it is now although I am no expert on this. However, I do have some signs for my business made from this and while it is light, it's not as light and readily foldable as laminated cartboard.

Re: Voice feedback when typing passwords
when characters are entered into a password field, each character is represented by an asterisks (star). No character is displayed that can be accessed and spoken. Hearing the character as you select/type them is the only identification you will receive. There is no setting to alter this behavior. Philip M Kragnes, M.S.

Re: Logitech Blue Tooth Tablet Keyboard
Both my children are a wiz at typing on a virtual screen with their thumbs. my sighted wife is getting much faster at typing on it as well.. I just went to the Amazon Basics Bluetooth keyboard because I can type much faster on it then I can on the virtual keyboard on my iPhone. - Original Message - From: David Chittenden dchitten...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2013 3:48 PM Subject: Re: Logitech Blue Tooth Tablet Keyboard Ok, step outside what you know. The following has been studied numerous times in many fields across the consumer information sectors. It includes everything from information kiosks and cash machines in very diverse venues to mobile information communication technology of various types and brands. When the interface is end-user (consumer) focused, people overwhelmingly prefer touch-screen direct access and manipulation of visual icons. They overwhelmingly report such interfaces are much more natural. Also, errors decrease significantly and productivity increases significantly when touch-screen interfaces are used. These are facts, not speculation or wishful thinking. New academic studies come out very regularly from different sectors which show very similar results. Now that acceptance and adoption of touch-screen technology has achieved critical mass, touch-screen control interfaces are becoming (and in many sectors have become) less expensive than traditional control interfaces using physical controls such as buttons, switches, knobs, and sliders. What this means is, the haptics rich environment of physical controls that we blind people prefer is continuing to disappear, and will continue disappearing. As the demand for such control interfaces reduces, costs for said interfaces will rise. This is how the market works. A sighted friend who always use to carry a bluetooth keyboard with him now does all his typing on his iPhone's onscreen keyboard when he is out. As he told me, once he got use to it, he no longer needs to carry, or worry about, the Bluetooth keyboard. We all know exceptions, but in general, the overwhelming majority of people studied, from many different groups and countries, prefer the direct influence they receive when utilising touch-screen interfaces.

Flicking up/down moves the user up/down, while flicking left/right continues to move the user horizontally. This feature will be especially helpful to those who frequently navigate with VoiceOver via a connected BluTooth keyboard, as well as in grid-based games or table layouts. The feature, interestingly, ignores artificial boundaries, meaning that if you navigate upward from the top row of a Home screen, you will find that VoiceOver focus has moved to the status bar. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

My other questions are: I bought Djay for 99 cents, but I see there is one for I believe $2.99 what does the one for $2.99 do vs the $0.99 one? Is there a podcast for Djay? I haven't been able to find one. I see where you can record... Where does that music go, and does it take up space on your phone, or is it stored in the Djay app music folder? Thanks.

RE: Earl vs. NFB Newsline
Well, I finally got smart and realized that since there is an app out there for just about everything, surely my local newspaper had one. They confirmed that they had not one but two. I tried them both and found that one works very well with VO and now I have access to the entire paper. I just checked NFB Newsline at 11pm my time and noticed the number of articles is much greater than it was this morning but they still don't appear to have the entire paper.

Re: Robo-E, puzzle game with VoiceOver support got an update
although I am not familiar with the particular puzzle game, there is a way to move up and down a column. You will need to add Verticle navigation to your rotor, if it is not already there. Add it by following these steps. 1. Open Settings. 2. Open General 3. Open Accessibility 4. Double-tap the VoiceOver button 5. Open Rotor Settings 6. Locate Verticle Navigation and double-tap it Now, when you are in the puzzle app and you want to move to the space below your current position, turn the rotor to vertical Navigation and perform a single-finger swipe down. Move up the column with a single-finger swipe up. Hope this helps! Philip M Kragnes, M.S.

You will get instant feedback if you go to the wrong squares. I've heard of folks using rubber bands crossed around the device or tape. Somehow, I actually don't seem to have that tracking problem very much. As for swiping, if you swipe to the side, you'll get a double tone at the end of each row.

Hello, I just downloaded this game yesterday and am finding it quite interesting. My main question is how do the majority of people on this list navigate the puzzle? It seems pretty hard to figure out the layout using VoiceOver. The only ways I can see to review the layout is to swipe left and right, or to touch the screen in different places. There doesn't seem to be any way to flick up and down to review verticly. This makes it very hard to get a good idea of exactly how the layout is. It is way too easy, I am finding, to touch the wrong square as you try to see what is directly above, or below, another square. Anyone else have a better way to review the layout? If the developer is on the list, can they let us know why a flick up and down option can't be put in, so that it is easier to get the overall layout down?

Dynamic range is what makes sound more like reality. Generally, it takes a great deal of power to make a wide dynamic range in an amp. It appears the sound dock 10 has found a way to do it using only 2 8 inch speakers. I guess maybe that's why it's like 7 hundred dollars USD. And it can do it with a 128 mp3 file.

Okay, I have owned the big jam box, wasn’t blown away by like the rest of the general public. Right now it is only $239.99 on amazon. The Bose link2 is still sitting at $299.99 and gets a smidge of a higher review. Couple things to take in to context here. The Bose link2 got 4.5 out of 5 stars. The Big jam box got 4.4 out of 5 stars. The Bose has only been on the market since September, and the big jam box has been out since last May, almost a year. The big jam box has over 1200 reviews, and the Bose link2 only has 273. So personal preference is the key here. Jam box has speaker phone, Bose link2 does not. Bose link shaped like a small book, big jam box shaped like a long rectangular box. Jam box sound can be updated via usb cord, and sound adjusted with a few button presses. Bose link has an app for the iMac, but saw nothing about firmware updates. I will have the Bose link2 in my hands tomorrow, so will be able to see if 1 out does the other. 1 thing a lot of reviewers said about the jam box, that the speaker phone took some quality away from the sounds of their music. Don’t know, but I am not big on speaker phones anyway since I live in a household of 7, and want to keep my few conversations private anyway. More of a tester than a talker. Anyway, is there anyone who has owned both that can add to this? If not, I will tomorrow. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

How, here is my other downloaded bible. It is a king james, read audible by a verry wonderful male reader. you can also choose to read something in voiceover instead. I have both and would recommend both.

Hi Philip, Yes, something like this could work, but it doesn't solve the problem of distance, light and having reference points and edges which help you to make sure the phone is lined up and square to your text.

The Standscan is not an iPhone specific accessory, it is made to work with all sorts of cell phones and therefore it isn't really possible to have some sort of ledge on it which is designed to line up an iPhone. The Standscan was also not designed as a product for the blind, in fact, the people who designed it and are producing it didn't even think that this would be a useful accessory for a blind iPhone user. Lastly, keep in mind that you are not paying $30 for a cartbord box only, the Standscan Pro does have the LED Lights and the magnets and while none of these things are very expensive, there is a design process and a manufacturing process and the people who came up with the idea have to recover their initial investment in time and all that. There are many other examples of very simple products made from very inexpensive materials which cost that much or more. Corex or Coroplast as it is also known is primarily used for short-term signage and for packing material. I am not sure if it could be folded in a way to maintain the portability of the Standscan as it is now although I am no expert on this. However, I do have some signs for my business made from this and while it is light, it's not as light and readily foldable as laminated cartboard.

Hi Chuck and All, I am not so sure that I would shake the StandScan. I beliele that the wire for the cable that connects to the lights is fragil. I need to observe this some more, but I think I have a loose connection. With the amount of light perception, I noticed that the light wasn't on. I did some trouble shootingu and came to the conclusion that the wire connected to the lights is fragil and needs some TLC so the StandScan will last. I am thinking that this device is a great device, but maybe it wasn't ready for prime time. Like others, I would like to see the StandScan manufacture in a more durable material. JMO.

RE: Standscan not holding together and other thoughts on the product, was: Standscan pro - I admit defeat
Hello ron, I am sure it could be done, but if you wanted this to be portable you would have to use 1/8 inch plywood and even then it would probably be much heavier than the Standscan. I guess as early adopters you always run into the problem that the product you bought might be improved and you end up with a version that is not as good as that which is made after feedback and improvements are implemented. Harry sent me an email today saying that the new production run is made from thicker cartbord which is laminated on both sides hence is more durable and that they use magnets that are 180% stronger and they also improved the location of the notch for the cable. Oh well, it's still a good product and I at least will mostly use it at home where I don't mind if the thing is just setup and has a few pieces of tape on it. I assume a few strategically placed Velcro strips might help for those of us where the magnets don't work all that well.

In my case, I find that the 2 magnets on the left side really need to be stronger. I mean the back left where the wire comes out and the front left. I'm not saying that they are the only 2 weak magnets because I feal that they are all too weak. What do you think of that idea? Do you think that would help? Also, I was thinking of your idea of making one out of plywood. Do you think that it would be possible to use small piano hinges to make it foldable?

Anyhow, it took me maybe 15 minutes to figure it out, after all, the places where one has to fold it are easily felt. However, my Standscan will not hold together properly without a bit of tape especially on the front top corners where the opening is and the back corner where the cable comes out. I know mine is part of a new production batch so maybe that has something to do with it, but just to make sure that I wasn't doing this wrong, I asked my manager at my store to put it together. He is sighted, he has gone to college for plumbing and electrician, he is a hobby woodworker same as myself and all around a handy kind of guy. He looked at the instructions and put it together. It turns out that I had done it correctly, but the place where the cable is supposed to come out is slightly mis-aligned and the magnets on the top in the front where the opening is and on the side where the cable comes out (after he made the notch a bit larger) will not hold even though they line up. Now that I have the Standscan I agree that the way the product is made should be improved and possibly a different material might be required to make it fit better, last longer and hold together more securely. If I were to carry this thing around with me in my pack all the time even in some sort of protective envelope, I could see how repeated setting it up and taking it down would probably wear it out and, as I said, in my case I would definitely have to replace some of the magnets. I may actually try this anyways and use some very small rare earth magnets. Those things are maybe slightly thicker, but they could probably be glued to the outside of the cartbord as they are so strong that they would easily work through the cartbord. Anyhow, now that I have a Standscan, I am planning to measure it and I will probably built a box out of 1/8 or 1/4 inch oak plywood with these exact dimensions. This would not be designed as a portable, take-down box, but I could make one for at home and one for at work and maybe after some magnet replacements I can then just use the Standscan for the occasional trip to a trade show or so where I might need it.

RE: Earl vs. NFB Newsline
There is another difference between NFB Newsline and Earl. Earl can not go beyond a pay wall. So, if a news paper has a subscription, you won't see it on Earl, even if you have a subscription to this paper. NFB gets complimentry subscriptions because the newsline is non-proffit. Earl is managed by a for profit company unless I am mistaken, and there would likely be a greater user cost to subscribe to Earl if they had to pay for subscriptions. By the way, I have them both, so this is not a plug for one or the other.

RE: Standscan not holding together and other thoughts on the product, was: Standscan pro - I admit defeat
Any ideas where I could look for rare earth magnets in my area? Do hardware stores carry these sorts of things? -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2013 11:50 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Standscan not holding together and other thoughts on the product, was: Standscan pro - I admit defeat Hi Annie and Krister, I received my Standscan yesterday and while I had the benefit of reading the various posts regarding setting it up, I found the detailed descriptions very difficult to understand without the Standscan in front of you. Anyhow, it took me maybe 15 minutes to figure it out, after all, the places where one has to fold it are easily felt. However, my Standscan will not hold together properly without a bit of tape especially on the front top corners where the opening is and the back corner where the cable comes out. I know mine is part of a new production batch so maybe that has something to do with it, but just to make sure that I wasn't doing this wrong, I asked my manager at my store to put it together. He is sighted, he has gone to college for plumbing and electrician, he is a hobby woodworker same as myself and all around a handy kind of guy. He looked at the instructions and put it together. It turns out that I had done it correctly, but the place where the cable is supposed to come out is slightly mis-aligned and the magnets on the top in the front where the opening is and on the side where the cable comes out (after he made the notch a bit larger) will not hold even though they line up. Now that I have the Standscan I agree that the way the product is made should be improved and possibly a different material might be required to make it fit better, last longer and hold together more securely. If I were to carry this thing around with me in my pack all the time even in some sort of protective envelope, I could see how repeated setting it up and taking it down would probably wear it out and, as I said, in my case I would definitely have to replace some of the magnets. I may actually try this anyways and use some very small rare earth magnets. Those things are maybe slightly thicker, but they could probably be glued to the outside of the cartbord as they are so strong that they would easily work through the cartbord. Anyhow, now that I have a Standscan, I am planning to measure it and I will probably built a box out of 1/8 or 1/4 inch oak plywood with these exact dimensions. This would not be designed as a portable, take-down box, but I could make one for at home and one for at work and maybe after some magnet replacements I can then just use the Standscan for the occasional trip to a trade show or so where I might need it.

I think I would recommend to have a sighted person to fold it the first time, mine was in fact a little difficult. I have got an idea, if it was possible to get magnetsthat are a little different, so that the equal magnets should fit together. I also think I will recommend that if they on standscan know a standscan has been ordered by a blind, that they fold it the first time, because when it is much easier when you will have to fold it again.

RE: google maps not talking
I too prefer MapQuest. It gives highly accurate voice guidance while driving or walking, and works in the lock screen or while using other apps.

RE: Standscan not holding together and other thoughts on the product, was: Standscan pro - I admit defeat
Hi Keith, I am not sure where you are, but I would just google it. Amazon probably has them, I definitely know that Lee Valley Tools has them which is where I buy mine. Lee Valley Tools is a Canadian company which sells woodworker supplies, tools, all sorts of specialty hardware and so on. Their website is www.LeeValleyTools.com. When you first go to the website you have only 4 links to choose from: En - for English, Canada Fr - for French, Canada US - for the United States Int - if you are an international customers outside of North America. It's one of those stores where as a woodworker I should not go too often, I've spend many thousands of Dollars there over the years. Here are a few link for some of the rare earth magnets they have: Rare Earth Circular Magnets: http://www.leevalley.com/US/wood/page.aspx?p=32065cat=1,42363,42348 Here a bit of a blurb about their qualities, the largest 1 inch diameter magnetwill ift a 30 pound block of steel: Until you have actually used rare-earth magnets, you cannot appreciate their strength. Rare-earth magnets achieve maximum attractive force when sandwiched between two pieces of steel. The 1/4 diameter by 1/10 thick magnet will lift a 2.5 lb block of steel; the 1/2 diameter one will lift a 9 lb block - see the chart at right. It all has to do with the electron array in the neodymium, the rare earth they are made from. There are hundreds of uses for these magnets - from holding keys or wrenches on machines to making fridge magnets. Nickel plated with slightly rounded edges, they can be glued in place with almost any glue (epoxy is the most secure). The 3/4 and 1 dia. magnets are so powerful that only people with very strong hands can separate them without using an aid of some kind. This presents a handling problem for us, so we sell them only in bundles of five, with instructions for simple separation methods. The 3/4 inch magnet will lift a 22 pound block of steel and the 1 inch size a 30 pound block. The odd one may have a minor chip in it since collisions can happen easily at these power levels. Rare Earth Ring Magnets: http://www.leevalley.com/US/wood/page.aspx?p=40075cat=1,42363,42348 These are shaped like a washer with a hole in the middle and various outside and inside diameter options are available. Oh, and they are cheap, too, the quarter inch is 36 Cents a piece if you buy less than 10, then they are 29 Cents, the 3/8 inch ones are 58 Cents and 46 Cents and the half inch ones are 85m Cents and 80 Cents, but those would be way too strong for the purpose of holding the Standscan together. I still have 8 of the quarter inch ones and I'll see if tomorrow I can replace some of the ones that don't work with them and I'll report back as to how it worked.

Re: Earl vs. NFB Newsline
Hi Neal and all involved in this thread, I am one of the principals at Angle the maker of Earl, out of respect for the forum I am not going to plug Earl but answer some of the questions in this thread. We update the content selections every six hours. We do not go through paywalls. We offer other online content then just newspapers. We decided that newspapers were pretty restrictive so we have content from places like cnn.com, foxnews.com and other news websites. We have also started to add more long form content from magazines, the atlantic is a good example of this. All non-local content can be found under the national selection in the favorites menu. We are also for profit. Did I leave anything out? Regards Shane On Thursday, April 4, 2013 3:43:19 PM UTC-7, Neal Ewers wrote: There is another difference between NFB Newsline and Earl.

Earl is managed by a for profit company unless I am mistaken, and there would likely be a greater user cost to subscribe to Earl if they had to pay for subscriptions.

Most people prefer that replies go on top to make them easier and quicker to read with speech. Thanks. On Apr 3, 2013, at 12:11 PM, Donald L.

Re: Standscan not holding together and other thoughts on the product, was: Standscan pro - I admit defeat
Folks, I am NOT typically a whiner about prices; but in the case of the ScanStand I feel horribly ripped off. I paid $27.00 for what is essentially a shoe box with a flashlight built into it. And not a very sturdy shoe box at that! This is not a product I’d recommend to anybody. Holland's Person, Bill E-Mail: wfgal...@charter.net - Always acknowledge a fault.

Re: Standscan not holding together and other thoughts on the product, was: Standscan pro - I admit defeat
Here are some thoughts I have: - Substitute material should not be any plastic because the heat generated by lighting would likely warp it. - aluminum flashing framed by lightweight angle aluminum (maybe ź) - mount lighting a bit off the framing to prevent overheating metal and burning users - wing sheet metal screws to fasten flashing to framing for quick assembly/disassembly This would probably add to the cost of producing the product; make it about worth $30; I'd anticipate the most expense would be drilling the holes for wing sheet metal screws into the flashing and framing to align properly Holland's Person, Bill E-Mail: wfgal...@charter.net - Always acknowledge a fault.

Re: another i cloud backup question, please
I'm not sure it's been announced by Apple when the 5S, if that's what it'll be called, will be released. Based on past history it could be in the summer or in the fall, but again, this is just more speculation. Just pointing this out so no one makes a decision based on the 5S coming out this June and ends up being disappointed.

Re: Standscan not holding together and other thoughts on the product, was: Standscan pro - I admit defeat
I personally believe that piano hinges and plywood would make for a very stable non-portable product. But plywood would tend to be a bit heavy and awkward; not for many I'm sure, but I suspect a notable number of folks would find plywood construction a bit too bulky. The idea of the piano hinges is an excellent thought; I had considered adding that to my aluminum version, but I think that may add a bit of unnecessary cost to a production run. And, I wonder if graphite material might not serve as a sturdy, lightweight possibility as well. Holland's Person, Bill E-Mail: wfgal...@charter.net - Always acknowledge a fault.
